Grateful to have had my pink slip rescinded for my current high school teaching job, which I happen to like an awful lot. It is going to be a very different summer than I thought it was going to be in terms of stress.

Grateful for his teachings which have had a positive impact on my thinking/training.

All: Grateful for a cruise on the upper Hudson River today (Catskill area). As a boy in NYC I remember the river as being a flowing cesspool. In the decades since my youth, major progress has been made and Ospreys now feed on the fish in the river and people waterski and fish amongst the lily pads along the shore. Grateful for this example that not all declines are irreversible, and grateful to those who worked to make this happen.

Grateful for another glorious summer, for a little time away for a family reunion, to continue family traditions at a 100+ year old lake place with cousins who were my buddies growing up, for the grandchildren to have extended time with their grandparents, to get to better know our relatives from further away, to see my daughter enjoying the same sports and activities we enjoy and grateful to have added a new family member to the group.
